Agave cultivation methods and precautions

1. Soil

It is best to use loose, fertile and well-drained soil. When cultivating, you can mix it with leaf mold and coarse sand.

2. Watering

Don't be too strict about water, as long as it maintains sufficient water during its growth period. In the winter when the temperature is low, reduce the amount of watering appropriately to avoid water accumulation and root rot.

3. Light temperature

It is best to place it in a sunny location, but shade measures should be taken when the summer sun is strong. In winter, it needs to be exposed to sunlight and kept dry at all times to avoid rotting due to low temperatures. After entering spring, the light should be increased to promote its growth. The temperature should be controlled at 15-25℃ and the night temperature at 10-16℃. The minimum temperature should not be lower than 5℃, as too low temperature will affect its normal growth.

4. Fertilization

Agave does not need to be fertilized frequently. Medium fertilizer can be applied once a year. If it is fertilized frequently, it will cause fertilizer damage due to excessive amount of fertilizer.

5. Notes

Leaf spot and gray mold may often occur in cultivated agave, and they must be controlled by spraying pesticides in time.
